  • Disability Identity Work among Student Veterans with Service-Connected Injury

    Open AccessHeather Powers AlbanesiARTICLEDisability Studies Quarterly2025

    This qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with twenty-four student veterans with service-connected injury explores disability identity work. Informed by intersectional and critical disability studies theoretical perspectives, emerging themes of deficit and critical disability frames reflect the negotiated, fluid, and varied experiences of acquired disability status among veterans.

  • Seeing red: Quality of an essay, color of the grading pen, and student reactions to the grading process

    Open AccessRichard L Dukes, Heather Albanesi et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2012Cited by: 1References: 1

    Undergraduates read one of the four vignettes depicting a student essay on social stratification, comments by the instructor, and a grade. In a 2 × 2 factorial design we manipulate independent variables of quality of the essay and color of the grading pen. We test hypotheses that a higher quality essay and an aqua grading pen results in higher teaching evaluations. MANOVA show no statistically significant differences on two instrumental evaluatio…
